Sau Tas Track Day #2

[toffy]

I'll be out for a look , i don't have a car (going) that's worth putting on the track atm though

[zoidbergmerc]

I have a strange feeling 90% of the gains will be from the driver though, might chase you around a bit on the day and see if I can learn some more mad skillz.

I'll sit in for a few laps, be warned, there is going to be a lot of yelling.

[Clandestine]

i'd highly suggest a practice day before getting into competition too much , going fast around a track can be different to on the road . perhaps a sua track day should be organised?? i'd be keen to go out n have a bash and offer pointers to anyone who is looking for some

You said this ages ago, and it was the first suggestion of a SAU track day, but I'm checking in your other suggestion to offer pointers to anyone who is looking for some (e.g. me, and I'm sure a heap of other people out there). Would be good to see you out there mate

[nobes]

Ill be there with the soon to be stripped 350Z. Its utterly stock drivetrain wise so its slow but i wanna get a base time before i turn it into a race car

[Johny Bravo]

There is going to be subaru's there? i'm yet to meet a subaru driver who isn't a complete twat. I'm sure there out they, they must keep a low profile though.

[DanielH]

I'm hoping to make it for my first bash on a circuit, new exhaust housing should be here tomorrow and hopefully my nistune the day after that Bought some 17s with RE55 semi slicks that clear my brakes by about 0.5mm with spacers, so im all but set to go

Haha, don't let zoid hear that

Yeah, I'm not a complete twat... I suppose the skyline cancels it out a little.

Judging by the interest on Rexnet, I'm thinging 4 Subies will show up.

I too got some RE55s

[Funz]

Haha, I'm counting on this rear wing for some epic downforce! or... maybe... perhaps that's unlikely?

Hopefully these new sways give me some more stability through the corners, and may actually play with the boost controller to coax out a couple more killerwasps from the engine on the day.

Yeah mate , i'll be there 100% and willing to give advice to anyone who wants to listen

Definitely up for some tips guys, looking forward to cutting down some times and taking on some knowledge. I'm sure a heap of other guys out there will want some tips to get them around the track faster with the same hardware

what time should i try to be there? probably gonna have to leave pretty early, travelling from launceston..

Last time we had people turning up between 9-11am, everyone had a fairly good run on the track after then and it should give you a heap of time to head down I reckon I'll be getting there at ~9:30ish on the day so I can squeeze a few laps in early. Not sure on the proper weather forecast for Sunday yet, but if there's the chance it's going to drizzle in the afternoon I'm getting as much dry track time as possible.

I'll be getting there at like 9 so don't get up too early, last time we packed up around 3, but I reckon I'll be going till the sun goes down

Yeah mate , i'll be there 100% and willing to give advice to anyone who wants to listen

I've put a passenger seat and seat belt in just for you

[DanielH]

can anyone tell me how i will go with 215/17 inch RE55 semislicks all round? they are a bit old, just a bit worried they may not grip up too well, i have some 245/18 RE55s i can take to put on the rear, but nothing else other than street tires for the front

[zoidbergmerc]

I've been lead to believe that skinny, old semis will out perform brand new fat streets.

[Funz]

my old semi's still grip better than street tyres lol, and almost down to no tred

[zoidbergmerc]

Got my RE55s on now Bring on Sunday
